A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes stories, and music
The Bundle family consists of Mr. and Mrs. Bundle, John and Mary, the twins -Peter and Jane-and baby William. This week our under-fives meet them all in three stories of family life by Ursula Hourihane. Today the Bundles have a visitor, tomorrow they go fishing, and on Wednesday it is Mrs. Bundle's birthday. Little children live very much to and for themselves, but it is not long before they begin to learn the lessons of adaptation and adjustment that are involved in living with other people. Their immediate environment is the home and their immediate social circle the family, and it is here, among father, mother, brothers, and sisters, that they take their first steps in living in society. They soon like to feel they have a place in the family unit, and so they can enjoy from time to time stories like these in which the emphasis is less upon the individual child than upon the joint activity of family life.
For this week's remaining stories there is a new one about a train by M. Thome, and an old favourite, ' A Story about a Teddy Bear,' by Margaret Gore.
Elizabeth A. Taylor

(To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m.)

Last week the Dales were busy making wedding plans. David was sent unexpectedly to the North by his firm. Before he went Gwen and David went to see Sally in her new shop at the Grand. That night Gwen discovered she had lost her pearl necklace. The next day she sent to see if it had been found in the hotel, and Sally told her that a famous film star who was staying there had also lost her pearl necklace and was offering a £200 reward for it. Alec heard about the reward and went to see if he could find the necklace. Accidentally he knocked over a bowl of flowers, out of which fell a pearl necklace, out much to his disappointment it turned out to be Gwen's. David returned from the North and startled the Dales by producing another necklace which he said he had picked up on the steps of the hotel. Gwen, David, Sally, and Bob rushed back to the hotel with the necklace to claim the reward.
